Thanks! Definitely reading this one now though its kinda long. I had heard about it but didn’t see anyone put it this way before.

Exactly this with me too. If they know me I have to hold myself to different standards and more small talk and stuff like that.

I have been trying to force myself to go to the same places but I usually fail. The only thing that works for me is going with someone else.

How are you supposed to deal with this without just losing all your values and becoming like them?

Are there any books or anything that someone can read on this?

Having a constant noise in your head/ears. It was so normal to me I didnt question it for many years. I randomly asked my friends about it one day and found out most people actually dont have an old crt tv like noise in their ears (and that its the disorder tinnitus).

In my case its not very severe thankfully, I dont notice it unless Im in a silent room or Im actively thinking about it.

Impressive work, thanks!

I think x86 is basically the only platform that’s used ACPI

ARM and x86. From wikipedia:

Revision 5.0 of the ACPI specification was released in December 2011,[15] which added the ARM architecture support.

ETA: Sorry I was wrong. ACPI doesnt solve this*. Arm SystemReady SR/ES does and its why Ampere cpus can boot on linux on release without too much work.

Sadly its currently only used for iot/server stuff but hopefully it will eventually make its way to consumer tech. We need to raise awareness on this and pressure companies to commit to this standard.

*From what I read, WoA has full ACPI support but qcoms ACPI apis only work on Windows. [1 (ms link)][2]

Yeah its really unfortunate that most arm chips/devices use DTs instead of conforming to ACPI. However with ARM becoming more prominent on servers (and desktops), Im hoping this changes. There is now a push for ACPI on Arm since thats what companies running Arm on servers want. Ampere server cpus eg have ACPI support and arm now has docs on ACPI. I hope qualcomm is also forced to support ACPI. I think they will have to do it if they want to see their cpus being used in data centers and the like.

Something like lemmy gold but with public names? /hj

Enabling this feature will probably require you to agree to Google AI training on your emails.

Its on the roadmap. AFAIK it requires vector layers before it can be worked on.

Havent tried it but it seems like you can make it work: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?iId=17&sClass=application

I dont think Photoshop and Roblox work on Linux at all (Roblox does through Sober right now but probably not for long). Buying another computer will not change that (and iirc mac os also supports dual boot).

However if you buy/build a good enough pc, you can run windows in a vm and use roblox/ps without dual booting.

If you dont strictly need a laptop, then yes I would recommend you build your own desktop pc. But if you do, AFAIK xps and thinkpad line of laptops have pretty good quality. The higher end surface laptops are also good (but very expensive). I cant really recommend much else without knowing what features you expect.

I feel like its just the first step in completely removing the off option (like how on Windows you cant turn off Defender, only pause it). Am I being too cynical?

Its written in Rust, is a completely new code base so not held back by tech debt, and is a clean DE while still being fairly customizable even now.

I personally don’t care why system76 felt the need to code a new DE from scratch, Im just glad they did it. It has given us a whole new ecosystem of GUI toolkits, apps, etc. for linux written in Rust.

One way is to donate to devs who are working on some specific features in the Linux kernel. The two I remember are Hector Martin who lead the Asahi Linux project and Kent Overstreet who is the main dev behind bcachefs, a new CoW FS.

But I guess this only works if there is some dev already working on a feature and is accepting donations. I wish we had community linux project or something similar which was funded by donations and hired kernel devs to work on things the community voted on.

Delta chat is based on top of email (i.e.SMTP, IMAP) so its like sending emails but in a chat format and encryption on top (and some more stuff).

I wonder when Ubuntu will make the shift. They are the only ones left on AppArmor at this point (tbf they have been maintaining it alone anyways).
